Something like this?

http://www.stylinconcepts.com/parts....categoryID=247

EDIT: For some reason the link only goes to their home page. Click on exterior accessories then rocker panels to find what you're looking for.

Diamond plate is a huge PITA to polish if you let it oxidize. The straight stainless polishes up easier, but it also swirls/scratches pretty easily.

Neither problem is very noticable from a distance...just when you get right up on it.

How about an opinion on going with the 3" trim compared to the 5 1/2" trim that goes a little higher up the body??

I think when I finally get some for the '97 I will get the 5 1/2" I like the way it follows the body line better.

I think the set on my truck is the 5 1/2 inch style and it really makes the truck took good. With my dark green paint its really sharp. You'll like it if you get it.
